The World Premiere of PULLING JOHN was sold out to a crowd of 400 plus. In attendance was the legendary John Brzenk as well as Sevan and Navid. The heart of this project, Vassiliki, could not be in attendance as she is working on her next production - a baby girl due any day!

The crowd loved the movie and gave John a standing ovation when he was introduced. A truly great moment. The armwrestling community in the audience made the event that much more special and energized the entire crowd. Thanks to all who made the trip.

Now its onto our next festival. Belfast in April, Vancouver & Madrid in May.

Rest assured we are working diligently to get this movie to all who want to see it.

We’ve got Digit Audio in NYC building the sound design and sound mix. We finished the music score with Naturalistic’s Gary Meister. We are working with a reputable sales agent who is loving “Pulling John” and will prepare it for US and International markets sales. ”Pindemonium”, another documentary we produced, is airing on the Sundance Channel again today…so check it out. It’s a lot of fun!!
